[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your lhetter and ask, please for the
benefit of the less literate SNMP folks around (such as YT),

would you care to elabourate (amplify) on your answer ?

How would Open View understand the trap without a MIB ?

Will Open View accept _any_ trap and act on it - if configured to do so
?

Perhaps the general question is that if you have an 'Enterprise
Management System' such as Tivoli, Open View and friends, how does one
notify it - given that all of these things only understand _one_ IPC
method, namely SNMP traps, of a problem that Nagios detects ?

Yours sincerely.

continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
